Gerard Beale, Josh Hoffman and Jeremy Smith have been added to the Kiwis train-on squad after their sides were knocked out of the NRL playoffs last weekend.

The trio join the 11 players already named - Roosters centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall has had to withdraw because he needs surgery on an adductor tendon - to prepare for the test against Australia in Townsville on October 13.

Beale and Hoffman were part of the Kiwis team who took on Australia in April's Anzac day test and Smith has accumulated 23 tests in his international career.
